Cut off yarn leaving a tail long enough to sew through top stitches (and side if hat was made on straight needles ) Run
thread through remaining stitches and sew up side if on straights. Fasten in all ends and add an I-cord bow, pom-pom
or yarn braids.

You can make the hat more masculine by doing away with the roll brim at the beginning. K2 , P 2 for five row, or
K one row, Purl one row on the circulars for six rows. On straight needles just knit 6 rows.
